Pushwalla Loop

About This Trail

This is a bonus hike in that you get to visit two oases on one trail — woot! From the parking area off Thousand Palms Canyon Road in Thousand Palms, follow sandy track toward mesa. Climb up for an impressive 360-degree view. Follow ridge until you see first oasis on your right. You may take trail down into Horseshoe Oasis; then climb back up to ridge. Continue on to Pushwalla Oasis. There are two options for your return: 1) (recommended) Return back along the ridge the way you walked out. 2) Follow the wash floor back to the parking area. This is rather a long slog: narrow, rocky, mostly packed/loose sandy track. Boring. Limited view.
